Cafe Marumataen (cafe 丸又園), a Japanese tea specialty shop a 4-minute walk from Tsuruhashi Station in Osaka, is holding a limited-time campaign throughout June 2026 to celebrate its 2nd anniversary. Customers who follow the cafe's Instagram account can receive freshly ground in-house matcha as a free, unlimited topping on their orders.
The cafe is operated by Marumataen, a Uji tea manufacturing and wholesaling house founded in Kyoto's Yamashiro region in 1853. In recent years, the number of customers visiting Japanese tea shops has been declining and many neighboring retailers have closed. The cafe space was added two years ago as a way to continue sharing the appeal of Japanese tea with local residents and visitors alike.
One of the cafe's most distinctive features is a stone mill (石臼) on-site, used to grind matcha fresh in-house. The owner is a certified tea master who has won the National Tea Evaluation Technology Competition and received the Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Award — Japan's highest honor in the field. All sweets and drinks at the cafe feature tea selected by this master.
The matcha gelato is available in three levels of intensity. The highest concentration — called "Okoicha" (お濃茶) — is described as rich enough to satisfy dedicated matcha lovers. The cafe is located close to Tsuruhashi Station, making it accessible to both local residents and visitors exploring Osaka.*
*As of June 1, 2026, the cafe is reportedly the only shop selling Japanese tea around Tsuruhashi Station, based on the company's own research.
